Which is an error. Bright sounds cut through the mix. Dark sounds == your soundman hates you.

I love Cannibal Corpse and Six Feet Under!
SFU is a perfect example of being heavy and defined with lower tunings because the guitars breathe in the mix and have their own frequency. You need space to be heavy sometimes.

E standard vs alternate tunings
New tunings just allow for different playing styles, if I had to stick to one tuning it would be c standard since it's a good balance between standard and super low tunings however an 8 string would be a good option if you were limited to one tuning
I play in everything from E standard to Drop A just because of the bands I listen to.
Tuning lower doesn't necessarily make you heavy it just allows certain phasings to sound heavy
Shredding in Drop A usually doesn't sounds as good as in standard but Chugging maybe better in drop A
All personal preference at the end of the day

Re: E standard vs alternate tunings
for recording treble on guitar tracks can be EQ'd reasonably, as where Crash Symbols Cannot ( I've made some Very good drummers Remove them Completely for recording ~ Drop C Heavy music . Crashes can Ruin good Tracks if U dont know what Your listening to

My friend says all he hears in VH tracks is crashes.
Re: E standard vs alternate tunings
Well many drummers just abuse the crash,,,,both in volume and frequency.
As a drummer myself I must constantly resist the temptation, and then as an added benefit it will have more impact then when you do decide to go ballistic.

Re: E standard vs alternate tunings
That is well put , Dave . my Drummer ( an ex-Drummer of a Guy U who Seymour makes a popular pickup Model of in His Namesake ) Laughed the 1st. time I told Him to Remove the Crash , then when He realized I was serious He got a little confused and pissed . I Said dont worry - I'll get these 2 Tracks or so I need + then we'll let You put it back on . i could Not afford to Pay $ for more time spent on the Tracks and still hearing Cymbal ruining it . BTW ~ And He is a Great Drummer Who has worked with many musicians . I know it was weird for Him to Not have the Crash sitting there on it's hardware ~ He lived through it : ).
